Red-light running has since become “increasing problem” that was “putting people’s lives at risk” throughout the city, Dublin City Council head of traffic Brendan O’Brien said. The safety camera strategy was submitted to the Department of Transport last May, but has not been published. Mr Creegan said: “It no longer appears appropriate to proceed with developing camera enforcement at a small number of locations in isolation”. “The entire of the BusConnects corridor project depends on bus lane enforcement and having automatic camera enforcement in place,” he said.
